Introduction

YEC Kit ECU presented on the Technical Letter n°1 i s developed to

communicate with a computer software called YMS : Yamaha Matching
System.

This software offer the possibility to adjust several parameters. This is

particularly interesting to set up ECU to the engine specifications and to
optimise engine performances with track conditions.

YMS Functions

Communication to ECU with USB interface

Injection MAP

Ignition MAP

ETV Control (Engine brake control)

Shifter timing

Pit road limiter

Gear box ratio parameters

Those functions allow to correct the internal ECU data. The internal ECU
mapping is fixed by YEC, meanwhile Yamaha Matching System offer the
possibility to apply an offset to the base data. By this way, it become easy
and possible to combine perfectly ECU with bike specifications.

First step : select the base MAP

As indicated in the previous Technical letter, ECU proposes two base

mapping. Basically SBK/STK or SSP/STK (The choice is given by the engine

specification and achieved by the position of a loop on a coupler => TL n°1) .

Additionally, Yamaha Matching System controls two complementary

MAP switchable from the handle bar (left side). The switch to select MAP 1 or MAP
2 is delivered with the kit wire harness set. MAP 1 et MAP 2 are usable on Fuel and Ignition MAP.

Second step : connection and communication with ECU

Computer is connected to the ECU through the Cable Interface (USB). The
cable is connected to the kit wire harness on a coupler situated behind the dashboard.

Start YMS software and adjust communication port if necessary (YMS Menu :

Shifter / Cut time

The value placed by default in the ECU fit a basic kit bike. Basically, it is
not necessary to change this parameter. Meanwhile, depending of rider
experience, it may become necessary to change the value.
CAUTION : If you need to change, modify the value by small steps (5ms
maximum) to avoid any damage on gears.

Fuel Map 1 & 2
Kit wire harness offers the possibility to use either standard Dimmer switch
or dedicated switch to select the MAP.

With standard left switch, the selection MAP is

assigned on the Dimmer switch
Low position = MAP 1
High position = MAP 2

Two injection MAP:

Map 1 : switch open
Map 2 : switch close
 TL n°2
Setting Fuel Map 1 & 2
To adjust correctly the Fuel MAP, we recommend to combine kit wire
harness with a data acquisition system. By this way it become possible to
adjust correctly the Air / Fuel ratio.
For both bike R1 and R6, A/F target should be around :
• A/F target on opening throttle between 12 & 12.5
• A/F target on full gas between 12.8 AND 13.3

If you don’t use MAP1 & MAP2 function, you should set both MAP with same values in order to
avoid any malfunction in switching error.

To set up A/F ratio in the best conditions, It is necessary to add

a data logging system on the bike

A coupler (4 pins) is available on the kit Wire

Harness to get information from the bike :
- Throttle position
- Engine revolution
- Water temperature
- Gearbox speed sensor

Two pins : data logger power supply

Ignition Map 1 & 2

YMS file deliver in 2009 two Ignition MAP for R1 and one for R6.
The standard data « 0 » in YMS file is provided for a basic kit bike STK, SS or
SBK. The parameter in the Ignition MAP is an offset from internal base MAP
(from -10 to +5 degrees)
CAUTION : excessive advance may damage the engine

Ignition value is an offset

Positive side (+5) = more advance
Negative side (-10) = less advance (retard)
 TL n°2
ETV (Electric Throttle Valve ) Control

Both models R1and R6 present a different ETV control. R6 (2009) kit propose
Comp ETV / Acceleration and Comp ETV / Engine Brake. While R1 (2009)
using compensate ETV / Engine Brake (the most useful).

Two dedicated MAP for ETV (only R6)

- Torque adjustment on Acceleration area
- Engine brake control & adjustment
 TL n°2

ETV / Acceleration control

This function manages acceleration area. With negative values as mentioned
below, the engine character can be soften. This table can be used when the
engine is “aggressive” on opening throttle and on acceleration area.

ETV / Engine Brake Control
The most useful function of ETV is the Engine Brake control. Through the
revolution and the gears, rider can adapt the bike to his riding style.

Adjust progressively the values

in this area to reduce
engine brake

Constant Parameters table Register Assembly
A table of Constant Parameters “Edit Const” is used in YMS to set up several
parameters such as pit road limiter; shifter type, gear box ratio, Variable
Intake, … Those parameters should be fill in properly in order to have a kit
system working in the best conditions.

Fuel offset on all area

Set the shifter type and adjust

voltage level
For a SW, set 2.5volts

Nota: when using left handle switch

shifter, the Register Assembly cable
should be plugged in.
In case of load cell sensor, it should
be disconnected.
 TL n°2
Constant Parameters table
In case of incorrect gear ratio, it may be possible that the quick shifter will not
work properly as the system can not recognise the gear position. The gear
ratios are available in kit manual book.

Gearbox Ratio:
CAUTION : shifter may not work properly
If the values are not set up correctly
 TL n°2
Constant Parameters table
Pit road Limiter is available in Edit constant table. This function work with a
dedicated switch and operate on first and second gears. To determine
properly the pit road limiter, we suggest you to refer to FI Matching system
Manual.
